Rue Royale, Boulevard Jacquard, and Boulevard Lafayette are popular shopping spots. Keep in mind most shops are closed on Sundays.

Many visitors buy items with lace, such as scarves, tablecloths, clothes, and handmade jewelry that local artisans make.

A recent attraction, the Calais Dragon, is a giant structure made from steel and carved wood that carries passengers around town on a 45-minute journey.

The stretch of coast between Calais and Berck-sur-Mer is known as the Opal Coast.
